Led a university workshop focused on preparing students for technical interviews, covering data structures, algorithms, and system design challenges.

• ▹Led a workshop 3 times a week for UVA students by walking through common data structures and algorithm leetcode problems.
• ▹Facilitated whiteboarding sessions to collaboratively work through system design challenges and tradeoffs.
• ▹Assisted over 20 students to get their dream internship (Meta, Amazon, Capital One, Roblox, Bloomberg, Zocdoc, Riot Games).

Designed and implemented an Digital Asset Management system automating image categorization for the AWS Documentation website using AWS SageMaker, processing 50,000 images. Identified and reported a severity-2 security vulnerability in the documentation pipeline, collaborating with senior engineers to resolve it within 48 hours.

• ▹Reduced manual categorization effort by 80%, saving approximately 40 hours per week compared to human-only classification.
• ▹Improved documentation consistency and customer experience by standardizing images across 329 AWS services using a prompt engineered AWS Bedrock model.

Maintained a mission-critical internal codebase used by over 2000 banks, ensuring high performance and 99.97% uptime. Developed and deprecated API endpoints and managed cloud infrastructure to enhance content delivery efficiency.

• ▹Delivered 10+ new features and improvements by working with cross-functional teams.
• ▹Reduced time to find an error by 75% by utilizing Datadog to monitor and report errors for kubernetes cron jobs.
• ▹Developed and deprecated 3 API endpoints for image generation using Express.js, optimizing functionality.
• ▹Employed Terraform for infrastructure as code to manage AWS CloudFront caching policies, enhancing content delivery efficiency.

Built a full-stack platform connecting early-stage startups with college students for freelance work, engaging over 2000 college students, contributing to the company's $5 million valuation and top 25 recognition.

• ▹Managed and built over 20 user interface components and pages using Next.js for the job board, student and business profiles.
• ▹Generated 5+ Spring Boot REST API routes hosted on an EC2 instance to organize over 200 business projects.
• ▹Accomplished a 30% improvement in website loading speed and a 25% increase in user engagement by leveraging DynamoDB and S3 for data retrieval and storage, and utilizing Tailwind to create website components.
